Shingles

[Guest guest]

Here is a post I got from another group(Chinese Traditional Medicine ) that

maybe helpful to someone in this forum suffering from Shingles:

 

 

 

" I don't know about any Chinese herbs for shingles, BUT I get them

about 2 times a year and use the amino acid Lysine. I take 1000 mg as

soon as I notice it coming on and continue with 1000 mg. 3 times a day

for at least a week. It works better and faster than prescription

Valtrex which costs about $300 a week if you have no insurance!! I

believe that if you research the reasons why this works, it is because

you have too much Argenine in relation to Lysine in your system. You

are also supposed to avoid things like peanut butter and chocolate.

You can also by over the counter ointments that contain lysine as

well. Also, my mother-in-law came from France and brought me some

homeopathic meds....I used them the last breakout along with the

lysine, and it was almost gone the very next day! I never got a full

breakout! The homeopathic meds were rhus toxicodendron, apis

mellifica, and vaccinotoxinum. Hope this helps. "
